The US and Ukraine signed recently the Charter on Strategic Partnership.
Not yet reactions.
Russia wants a strategic partnership with US too, at least declaratively.
Timothy Garton Ash suggested the need for an agreement with the similar weight with China.
What, in general, a strategic partnership could bring is the institutionalization of the bilateral relations of not-neighboring countries. United States sign several such documents with countries from around the world, encompassing different degrees of democratization and socio-economic development. EU and NATO are also having a "strategic partnership".
This kind of documents are tailored on the needs of the bilateral cooperation between the two signatories entities. In fact, they are not disadvantages, but only opportunities for advantages. Of course, if they are not only dead letters of documents and both parts equally have to get involved in rising the stakes of the exchange.
